Pop star Katy Perry, along with five other women, embarked on a trip to space aboard Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket on Monday. The 11-minute flight took them 62 miles above Earth, crossing the boundary of space and giving them moments of weightlessness. The launch was witnessed by a celebrity cast including Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom.
Critics argue that the trip, marketed as an all-women space journey, was more for publicity and marketing rather than a win for feminism or women empowerment. Some believe that the millions spent on the trip could have been used to help struggling families or combat climate change. The photoshoot before the trip in sexy spacesuits was also met with criticism.
While Perry expressed a newfound love and connection to the Earth after the trip, many feel that the money and resources could have been better utilized in more meaningful ways. The focus on supporting women in STEM and space exploration should be directed towards those who have worked tirelessly in the field, like astronaut Suni Williams.
This high-profile space trip by celebrities has sparked debate about the true motivations behind such journeys, and the importance of using wealth and resources for causes that have a real impact on society. As the world faces pressing issues like climate change and economic instability, the priorities of the rich and famous are being called into question.
